Ludwig Heimrath, Canada’s first national driving champion and the first Canadian to race in Formula One, has died at age 86 of pancreatic cancer. Known as a fierce competitor, he frightened friends and foes alike with his my-way-or-the-highway determination to win at almost any cost.

Heimrath, who spent his final days with son Ludwig Jr., a successful IndyCar driver in his own right, daughter Karen and a caregiver, Karen Gillett, did everything his own way, including dying. Diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, he entered palliative care at hospital in Peterborough but signed himself out, determined to “go to heaven” from his cottage on the shore of nearby Stoney Lake that housed more than 400 racing trophies.

Le Circuit Mont Tremblant is for sale.

Hmmm..wonder if this was in response to the "noise" class action lawsuit from the local NIMBY idiots.

Le Circuit Mont Tremblant is for sale.

So my guess it will end into condo & houses, sad end as Autodrome St-Eustache..

How much?

Here's the article (Fr)
https://www.poleposition.ca/actualite/2021/03/21/le-circuit-mont-tremblant-est-en-vente/

Quick translation of part of it.

The offer proposed by CBRE specifies: "located on the banks of the Diable River, the Property includes ±13 million sq. ft. of land on Village Road, between Ouimet and Mercier lakes. Just steps away from the Mont-Tremblant ski resort in the heart of the Laurentians, the Property represents a unique potential for residential redevelopment". It is also mentioned that the deadline for submission of offers is April 15, 2021, at 4 p.m.

According to the Ville de Mont-Tremblant's registry, Circuit Mont-Tremblant represents four civic addresses in the municipality for a total of 7 lots. Six of these seven lots are owned by Courses Automobiles Mont-Tremblant Inc. and the seventh by Circuit Mont-Tremblant Inc. The current municipal assessment for all these lots is $8,507,000. The 2021 municipal taxes are $88,043.80 and the school taxes are $8,983.10.

Group buy?

As per link, they are expecting a $22M offer  "... l'agence immobilière aurait espoir de recevoir une offre de 22 millions pour ce bien. "

I remember reading that the class action lawsuit was likely the end of racing there.

I'm a crazy...anyone else remember reading that?

Kraft Dinner still kicks ass.

Kraft Dinner still kicks ass.

I haven't had it in a couple of months.

I'll probably have some next time we go camping.

Somehow, it tastes even better cooked over a fire.

Really?!!! I thought that most people were mad as hell with Kraft for changing the Canadian formula???
Apparently the American Kraft dinner is the same.
The smart shoppers have all switched over to Annies.

Is that what happened?
I bought some KD a few months ago and it was awful, back to President's Choice Deluxe Chedder

For every box, your're supposed to add 2 Kraft singles.

That fixes everything.

That's ridiculous.  IMO nothing beats preparing some quality elbow pasta and adding freshly shredded Bothwells aged cheddar (a fine MB cheese producer). Really not any harder than making KD and 10x the taste.

Annies is good.

We're talking plain old KD.

Yes, of course home made is a zillion times better..especially topped with panko, then baked.

I mean...is this even news? That something made from scratch tastes better?

FWIW, Instant Pot is great for cooking most pasta.

[Bubba]

Annies is good.

Haven't tried it.  Will give it a go.

[Brig]

Annies is good.

Agreed. 

I tried KD recently, and it just tasted like salt to me.  Even with added butter and a bit of milk.
